A* a result at the alarming In crease In the number of cases of hydrophobia treated by tho Pasteur, department of the state board of health in 1911, Dr. Roy Harris, tho e cretary, advocate® 'h® enactment o? a muzzling jaw in hie annual re port, Just aubraHted to Governor Prows. During the past year 457 human brings and 2* animals were treated l»v the department, and two deaths * rre reported from tablet. In 1910 the to’Al number of cases treated to taled 462, showing an Increase last jc-sr. Dr. Harris says: “I would particularly urge tha*. some action be taken toward the rctment of a law compelling nuzzling of dogs. As the disease (rabies) appears to bo on the rrease, the time Is no*, far distant hrn w® will have to Increase cur facilities for giving the Pasteur treatment If something Is not done to prevent th® Increase of hydropho be among dogs, and the experience rf other countrle® clearly shows that this can only b® don® in the way ruggeated.** It la understood that some effort may be mad® at the coming session f the legislature to paes a muzzling lew for Georgia. However, It Is cer tain that such a hill would meet with strong opposition. Dr. Hands also urges tile enact ment of a tftynif Itw nuking It 111*- 1 or decayed cpra tnty this stated as the Increase In pella gra throughout Georgia makes It necessary tpat some preeantlonarv methods be *ak*n. It Is evident that Dr. Harris believes much of the pellagra la caused by eating rotten corn, and he aska especially that the board of health can arrangx to make proper testa | n l!a laboratory nnd would co-operate In every way *c keep the had corn ont. The report shows also that early In 1911 smallpox waa general all over the state, although not of v.rulen* type. The cates of dlpthe- rla were not so numerous for 1911 During the year the health depart ment mad®34twa*er analysis,a gain of 16S over 1910. Ten mnnlclpal r.nterwortca and water supplies were examined last year. This feature Is one of the greatest value to the people of the state, since It shoe nny contamination and how to cor rect it when found. The report shown that the de partment has a deficit In hill* due of 69,086.77 for the year. One thing which affords Dr. Harris pleas ure I* the growing popularity of the department, and the wider knowl edge and appreciation of tho work for the health nnd goneral welfare ef the state on th® part of the p«o- pv generally.

The following Is the letter: Valdosta Vldetteajl If we should permit our company to be mustered out, It would only be a reflection upon the offi cers, but also every man in the com pany, for the company can be no stronger than the Individual! com posing It. In case the company should be mustered out It would be impossible, for many years to com*\ foi our city to have a military or ganization. Therefor®, with this condition in view, we, aa the com missioned officers of th® comnnny, have decided to do all In our power to nave the company from bolnir dis banded, and It will be Impossible for im to do anything at all without the hearty co-^perat|on and sujfro# of every member. We have delayed making this move on account of our very poor support In (he past except by a very few men. thinking that some others would take up the cause of military In our city and would have better success than ourselves, and. If the company gets on Its feet, we will re sign, thereby allowing you to place In command whoever you desire. We will have a meeting Friday night at 8 o’clock and every night thereafter until Inspection, which I* only a short time off If you have any desire to have the company con tinue we will expect you to be prea- ent ready to co-operate with us Respectfully, A.

E LOOK THAT BELIED THEM Appearance of two Road sters Indicated Collision AN INVESTIGATION, HOWEVER, 8HOWED JJ^IAT THE TWO RIG MACHINES HAD MERELY SUF- FKKED 3USHAPS. (From- Friday’s Dally.) This morning at the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad two of the biggest engines on th© line were hooked up to each other, one of them polling the other one to th© machine shop for repairs. One of them wa# a passenger engine No. 301, and -the other was a freight engine, No. 401. The passenger engine had the cow catcher smashed off and was going to the shop for repairs. The freight engine had the side valve gear broken off and It was also go Ing in for repair*. A reporter of The Times two /engine*^hooked up together and began inquiring about the cause ofthe damage. One man declared that they were In a collision, that the passengers engine had its *o catcher knocked off and the Other one had the side gear ripped oil He admitted that he did not know how the collision occurred nor how It happened that the sld© of one of th© engine was ripped off while only th© cow catcher of the other one was hurt. The case looked eo mysterious and full of human interest that the reporten continued to make Inquiry about tbd accident. The next man he saw waa a railroad roan, who do dared that one of t ha engines “aide- wiped” th® oth®r, knocking off the aide running gofcr of oJje and smash Ing off the^ow catcher' of tl)e oth3r. Thto btty,* not explaightow it hap pened that the aide of the other en gine waa not also Injuied, so further Inquiries were made. Nearly every person that wa® eeen declared that collision had occurred. Non© of them saw the collision and non© of them kBew where It occurred, ibut one man was sure that It happened In tb© ylrds, aa h© saw a flat car hauling th© cow catcher off to the shop a few minutes before that. rf® was-no <}oubt In th© minds of any of the men Just how the acci dent happened, hut It waa all eo flahy” that the reporter continued his Investigation. H© finally*came upon an enginee who had an oil can In his hand and had apparently dlsmouted from one of th© engines. He was asked how the collision occurred and h© prompt ly replied that there had been no collision. Th© paaspnger engine broke its cow catcher at Jacksonville yes- terdny an,j finished It up. on th© way to the city last night by striking a crossing which was too high for the pilot to get over It all right. The freight engine had Jta valvo gear broken at Hahlrag yesterday af ternoon while In motion, the acci dent being one that Is liable to hap pen nt nny time. The two engines happened to ho In the yarJs here together nnd the passenger engine, which was fired up and in running order, was coup led on to the other for the purpose of pulling it to the machine shop. Of course, all of the people who told thp reporter about the collision were basing what they said upon the appearance* of the twp engines. If the reporter had published what the first one told him he would have printed a story such aa sometime gets in print without any bad Inten- telon on th © paper man’s part. am pins JOHN STALK DISK DEERE CUTTERS AND HARROWS CALL IN AND SEE THEM W.

There were probably 100 pictures showing landscape work. Every con ceivable kind of work was presented to view and every picture waa criti cised, showing what It lacked,or in what It excelled.
